Balotelli loses his temper on pundits after AC Milan's defeat to Roma

AC Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Roma on Friday at the Stadio Olympico saw Milan striker Mario Balotelli lose his temper on TV.

Speaking to Sky Italia’s Zvonimir Boban, Giancarlo Marocchi and Christian Panucci, Balotelli unleashed a verbal tirade against the pundits.

“You don’t understand anything about football. Trust me, you really don’t,” shot Balotelli at Marocchi, who had asked the striker why he did not cover more ground on the pitch.

Former AC Milan forward Boban also labeled Balotelli’s performance as shameful while mentioning that the 23-year-old is a world class player.

Balotelli retorted,”You always talk about me. When Milan win Mario’s great, but when Milan lose it’s all Mario’s fault.

“I don’t need your criticism, I criticise myself.”

He went on to add, “I never said I’m a top player.”

“I am a perfectly normal player, it’s you that say I am an exceptional player, you always expect me to score five goals a game.“You always talk and talk, but there’s no point to saying any of these things. No point at all.”

The irate striker concluded the interview by throwing his microphone down.
